Nov 9 2020 8:19AM	High	Acknowledged	107.4549 °C / 760 mmHg is obviously not the boiling point of ethanol, which should boil at a much lower temperature than water. That is an approximated value calculated from the low-pressure reading.
Jun 10 2017 3:02PM	Normal	Acknowledged	Diagram of structure shows only one methyl group--need two for ethanol. Structures on ChemSpider are skeletal formulae, where intersections of lines are considered to be carbons and each carbon is considered to have enough hydrogens to fulfil its valency. This structure therefore has two carbons - one at the explicit CH3 at the end, and the other at the bend between CH3 and OH.
Jul 14 2016 4:20PM	Normal	Acknowledged	Wrong chemical structure for ethanol. Love the website! Thank you for your feedback. You don't state why you think the structure is wrong. I wonder if the depiction doesn't match your expectations in some way - however, this structure does correctly show ethanol according to our standard depiction rules.
Jan 17 2014 9:39AM	Low	Acknowledged	Looking at "skeletal formulae" with a sixth form student.....I notice that ChemSpider has included the terminal methyl group in ethanol. Please, is this "usual"? Commonly, A level exam boards would expect the HO followed by the "two sticks" ....and would not accept the ChemSpider representation. (I can see that, especially for more complex structures, terminal groups shown this way could be very helpful....but for such a simple structure this might confuse A level students.) Keep up the good work! Great site! Thank you for your comment. As you are aware there are many different approaches to representing chemical structures from explicitly drawing a C for every carbon and having all hydrogens explicitly drawn, through to representations where complex abbreviations (Fmoc, Dansyl etc) are incorporated, and each has it's place depending on the user and their needs. We are not trying to tell anyone how they should represent a chemical structure in terms of any style. We only seek to provide the user with a clear idea of what the structure of the compound is. While I take your point about the fact that the application of terminal CH3 on such a small molecule might be less valuable than for larger molecules - applying different presentation to different structures is likely to create as much if not more confusion. If you have any further comments or questions please do email us. Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
Sep 21 2013 7:08PM	Normal	Acknowledged	I think the data should have density for each compound as well. Thank you for your feedback. In many cases, we do have this information available. You can find density information in the "Properties" infobox, under "Experimental Gravity". This contains information related to density and specific gravity. Unfortunately we are unable to make this information available on all records, as we can only display information which is given to us. However, many of our data sources have information they do not make available to us, so it might be worth your while to check out the Data Sources infobox for links to other sources of data.
Feb 27 2011 8:50AM	Normal	Rejected	why in gc-hs ethanol is used I'm afraid it's not clear what your feedback is on this record. If it relates to the usage of ethanol for a particular purpose, we are not able to provide any more information than is displayed in the record.
